Unless she's really hurting herself, I wouldn't call attention to it. I might respond with, "you seem frustrated. You want to do x. Unfortunately we can't because of y. Do you want to do z?"

She's just frustrated and doesn't know what to do with her emotions. Call too much attention to it and she might start biting others, which would obviously be bad. In my opinion, the best thing to do is to acknowledge the feeling, and move on.
